I am learning to deal with this too. Making sure my life is balanced in other areas helps a lot. Getting into an exercise routine helps you lose that restlessness, eating right and drinking plenty of water, but also treating yourself every now and then. I have also replaced coffee with green tea and I dont drink more than one cup a day. If I'm tired after that, I'm just tired. Your body is telling you it's time to chill. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with doing deep work or whatever the hell they’re calling it, as long as you really unplug when its time to stop.

You're right Bobby. It's about knowing when to push it, but also when to step away and say enough, rest and do something different, but sometimes its easier said than done when you are determined to get something finished.
